I'd rather not.  If someone else wants to search other modules for opportunities 
to make similar changes, that's obviously fine, but's it's not at all necessary. 
 Work like this should belong to the modules in question; among other things, 
it is more efficiently done by people who care about and are expert in those 
modules.

No, the issues are related.  If the modules in question were completely 
independent, this thread would not have come up.
